My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Willis!

My name is Willis, and I was born on 10/20/2024 in Texas with my eight siblings! I am one of the 3 boys in the litter. What breed am I? Me and my siblings are a colorful bunch, so it’s anyone’s guess! Whatever I am, I’m 100% adorable!

My foster mom says I’m the smartest boy ever and I catch on to what she wants from me very quickly. She thinks I should be pretty easy to train once I’m in my new home, because I am super attentive. I am a rough-and-tumble puppy but can settle down easily when I need to. I love to chase toys and fetch but like to play tug instead of giving it up so easily. I can be demanding when I’m ready for my food but haven’t really been vocal about anything else. I would eat all the food in the world if my foster humans would let me! I do very well in my kennel but love human interaction most of all. I sleep through the entire night, whether in my crate or right by my foster’s side. Actually, I prefer to be at my foster’s side 100% of the time! I rarely venture off out of view, because I always want to see what’s going on. I will do really well if I can find a family that’s looking for a great companion dog.

I’ve been busy at my foster home with my brothers and sisters and my two foster siblings. I do great with the large, adult dogs that live here and have liked every other big dog I’ve met on walks so far. I haven’t met any cats yet, but I think I would like them too, even if they don’t appreciate my puppy curiosity. There is a 12-year-old boy that lives here; I get so excited to play with him and love every kid I have met so far! I haven’t spent much time with any really young children yet, but if you watch my excitement around them, I should be just fine.

I love going on walks and am so great on a leash! I would spend all day outside if I was allowed to. I haven’t been potty trained yet, but I do always use my pee pads. I know what “potty” means and will go every time I’m let outside. I’m still learning how to let people know that I need to go out, though. I haven’t been left home completely alone yet, as I have my brothers and sisters with me. That may take me a little time to get used to, but I don’t think crate training will be an issue for me. I take corrections very well and should learn quickly with my new family.

I’m having so much fun and learning so much every day, but I can’t wait to meet my new family!
